"Page Rank should not be the primary identifier of a good or bad link"
It is a common misconception that a page with low Page Rank is not worth getting a link from. However, there are many other things to consider when building links including domain trust and authority, content relevance and position of your link on a page.
Similarly pages with high Page Rank may not be what they first seem. Try checking the page's back link profile for any deceptive tactics or evidence of link buying or blackhat before you dive into getting a link from it.
